I would usually ask in the visit before I wanted them to use the products. And I'd bring it up by first noticing the products that they use and asking if they'd mine using [blank] in its place. This is only if I know for sure that my product works better than theirs.
I call on the phone to find out what products the stylist uses. If they don't use the ones I like, I simply ask if it's okay to bring my own. One stylist responded by saying, "I won't be responsible for what happens after using the products". Others have just said, "sure, no problem".
I was just about to say that. I see ladies do it ALL the time. They just hand the bottles over to the washer and ask them to use those. If anything, the managers prolly like it, cuz they are still charging u the same amount, but saving their own products.
But i dont know if thats "typical". Ive been going to the Dominicans for so long that i've lost touch with regular salon protocal.
Well Im trying to convert to natural/organic products and I was planning on bringing AO or Jasons with me. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a fuss because I dont feel like using Tresemme or the other stuff.
